Well no matter how much the other team fans say "Mario rehash #xxxxx" Everyone likes good games I 3D Mario have always been good. Which is why I think third party Nintendo would be a nightmare for current third parties.

Mario does have GTA brand name power meaning anything released in it's time frame is doomed

Wow, I never would have thought Mario would outsell Dead Rising 3 and Ryse, that's incredible.

lol i was referring more towards the fact that anytime there's you + a nintendo thread that usually = something negative or not entirely enthused regarding nintendo. opinions are like assholes we all have one and they all pretty much stink but its hard to tell when you are or aren't being more positive regarding nintendo lol. such as now.

here's where that post went wrong lol. stupid ign cock blocked the hell out of the pic i meant to post.

Zelda is mine. Getting up early on Thanskgiving to got to Kmart and get one for $30.

Mario MAYBE....I'll talk to a friend who also has a Wii U maybe we'll split the cost or something. It will also depend on reviews and game length - if I get 25 hours out of it like the Mario games, then I'll buy it close to launch. If its more like 15 like 3d land, I'll wait for a price drop.

I'm plenty positive towards Nintendo/Wii U, but people only choose to focus on the less than positive arguments or see things in a negative manner, and rarely reply to other stuff. Just check my post history (before the PS4 launch though.)

don't kill the joke dude just go with it haha. humility is a gift not a harsh over generalization. you could be plenty positive in your own way but its nice to poke fun at the more obvious things lol

Beating Ryse and Dead Rising is not impressive. Their max is probably around 300K at launch. CoD and Madden are likely to be more popular.

Beating 3ds zelda is very impressive though. We may see some sick numbers at launch for Mario 3d world considering user base size!

what this could lean more towards though is that on a holiday shopping spree..some more stores may just want to keep this puppy close depending on said sales numbers and the amount of units they could possibly push with it. i'm fairly certain retailers like gamestop are tired of looking at vitas and wiius like some leper to gaming and ultimately losing money for having them. if a game is wanted they will have it and damn well market it if possible.

For the Wii U to succeed, Mario 3D World needs to sell like crazy. Needs to stay in top 5ish throughout the holidays. But I'm afraid it be just dem fanboys buying.

actually you'd be surprised. mario doesn't really carry the stigma dudebros and fanboys give it in the real world. you could totally hate disney for some of their ethics but if a sweatshirt with mickey mouse is in your local store the amount of impulse to buy and poses it is still a norm for everyone else. same goes for other franchises like zelda and that's why whether or not wind waker is a "new" game is still a good thing for nintendo to have NOW. who knows maybe a bunch of ignorant parents will buy it as if they are buying it for a wii..find out it's for wiiu a NEW system entirely..maybe return it or even gain an impulse to get the system for the sake of delivering this holiday season.
